Project information:

The original Second Avenue overpass was built in 1954. The new bridge will be the first network tied arch structure in the state of Michigan. Network refers to the cables that are crossed from the top of the arch to the bottom of the structure on each side. The skeleton of the new bridge was built offsite at Wayne State University and will be rolled into place using self-propelled modular transports. Both directions of I-94 will need to be closed between I-75 and M-10 (Lodge Freeway) for seven days during bridge slide work, anticipated to begin Sunday, July 10.
